Nice. Got to admit the ak100 looks very sexy, be interested to hear how the sound compares to the dx in your opinion. I've been considering trying it but that's on the back burner as I've just invested in a set of k3003's. The dx is feeding those very nicely.

Ahh too bad you didn't look into the 1Plus2s ;). So much better than the AKG3003s :P. Still I have to admit if I hadn't heard the 1Plus2s I'd have opted for the 3003s still. Well actually I might have just skipped them and gone for the 8As although I'm still doing that now :). The only reason I've opted for the RWA AK100 is because Vinnie modded it to fix the 22 ohm output impedance issue so it works fine with Sensitive IEMs and as an end result is more detailed and open sounding than the AK100. So its a win win. Plus the portability, dual micro SD slots, decent UI, the works :). I'll post some impressions when I get it though.

Hmm am i suppose to be able to control the volume on Ibasso when hooked through lineout with O2? what should the volume be set on the player? when hooking external amps to lineout :)

As has been stated many times in this thread, volume control (and EQ) takes place directly in the ESS dac, so it will affect all outputs. This means it can be done extremely accurate and without distortion or volume imbalance. That's a good thing.

I considered both those and more! But in the end I am VERY happy with my choice, I'm getting lost in the music and that's what I was looking for.

My DX100 is once again refusing to turn on Wifi - even after a factory reset and firmware reload. Now I'm getting ready to do the complete wipe, using the tool supplied by Ibasso. If this doesn't fix it, I fear that I may have to return it for repairs!
